Subject: Automat?  Was (Re: new virus: )

Following up my own post:
--------------------------------------------------------------
There is no virus known to us by this name. However, Norton Anti-Virus
uses names like W97M.Automat.  to name viruses which have been detected
automatically.

VARIANT: Automat.K
--------------------------------------------------------------

So it looks new.
